The IT skills gap is the shortfall between how many IT roles are and will be available in Europe over the next number of years and the amount of people skilled in IT to perform those roles. The figure may be as high as 900,000 more jobs than IT Professionals by the end of 2016. You can access the eSkills for Jobs Manifesto here.
